Community Coffee Breakfast Blend Medium Roast Premium Ground 32 Oz Bag (2 Pack), Medium Full Body Smooth Bright Taste, 100% Select Arabica Coffee Beans

For reference, I'm a bit of what some people would call a "coffee snob." I have an SCA-certified coffee maker (more on that in a moment), V60, and Moka pot. I use a hand grinder to grind my whole beans, and I generally weigh my coffee when brewing. However, while I enjoy a nice cup of Ethiopian beans in the afternoon, I am less particular about my coffee in the morning and just prefer something that tastes decent and is very cheap. I have been buying Maxwell House from BJ's because it was the cheapest I could find in stores, but when I saw Amazon had this Community Coffee for an even cheaper price, I just had to give it a try.The Breakfast Blend hits the mark perfectly for me, and I can see why it's popular in the south. When using cream only (which I only do for medium nutty roasts like this one), I can definitely detect the notes of honey and hazelnut, though it is a bit muted. That could admittedly be due to the creamer, but it also could be a result of an older roast date (date is not provided on the packaging). The best way to describe the flavor is that it's like diner coffee, similar to what you'd get at something like a Denny's. It is not bitter and does have a smooth taste with cream.For brewing in an autodrip machine, I made this with my GE Cafe Specialty Drip brewer which I love because it's one of the few machines out there that lets you select the brew temperature. As a sidenote, the retail price is very expensive, but you can often find it from the Amazon Renewed store for very cheap prices. I typically brew at 8g/4.5 oz cup and 195 degrees F for medium roast coffees like Maxwell House since I find the SCA setting (200 degrees F) to be better suited for light roast coffee like my Ethiopian beans. For this coffee though, I decided to try the SCA setting since the grinds seemed a bit lighter roasted than your typical cheap medium roast. The SCA setting is absolutely perfect for this coffee, so if your machine allows you to set the brew temperature, I would definitely recommend brewing at 200 F. I have not tried brewing this in the V60 yet, but I would assume the same temperature would apply.In conclusion, I'd definitely recommend this coffee if you're looking for a cheap morning brew that is smooth and not too bitter. I will definitely be buying again!

Good coffee at a good price, but I just noticed the short dating.Coffee arrived 4/1/26, and both bags say “Brew by 5/25/26”.I never checked the date on previous orders.

Better than advertised! We really like this coffee😁! Good taste, smell, strength of roast. Seems to be low acid & easy on the gut. Have bought several times & will buy again🎉. Have bought & given as gifts 🎁also. Every lot I have purchased has been fresh & had at least 6 months of shelf life (Even when I bought several bags out of season Christmas blend)The grind is a bit coarse for my drip machine so I just grind it a little bit more.

Excellent coffee, if you’re looking for a smooth coffee this is the oneBoth our favorite restaurant and grand hotel serve community

Good coffee. We were buying it until the price shot up ridiculously. We now buy Maxwell House bold and smooth.
